Project description:The number and type of synthetic chemicals that are being produced worldwide continues to increase significantly. While these industrial chemicals provide numerous benefits, there is no doubt that some have potential to damage the environment and health. Toxicity must be evaluated and use must be carefully controlled and monitored in order to minimize potential damage. DNA microarray technology has become an important new technique in toxicology. We are using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism for toxicological study because it is a simple, fast-growing eukaryote that has been thoroughly characterized. In order to evaluate toxicity by newly synthesized or mixture chemicals, toxicity-induced gene expression alteration profiles by known chemicals should be collected. In our study, cells need to be exposed with same experimental cellular condition, semi lethal (IC50), respectively. In the case of pentachlorophenol (CAS; 87-86-5), the exposure dose was decided as 50 uM by growth curve with continuously diluted exposure. Pentachlorophenol is a pesticide (fungicides) that is recognized as a carcinogen and suspected to be cardiovascular or blood toxicant, developmental toxicant, endocrine toxicant, gastrointestinal or liver toxicant, immunotoxicant, kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, respiratory toxicant and skin or sense organ toxicant.

While these industrial chemicals provide numerous benefits, there is no doubt that some have potential to damage the environment and health. Toxicity must be evaluated and use must be carefully controlled and monitored in order to minimize potential damage. DNA microarray technology has become an important new technique in toxicology. We are using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism for toxicological study because it is a simple, fast-growing eukaryote that has been thoroughly characterized. To obtain varied toxicity-induced gene expression alteration profiles, we examined many kinds of chemicals and compared the gene expression profiles as chemical toxicity each other. Consequently, cells need to be exposed with same experimental cellular condition, semi lethal (IC50), respectively. In the case of formaldehyde (CAS; 50-00-0), the exposure dose was decided as 1.8 mM by growth curve with continuously diluted exposure. Formaldehyde is one of the aldehydes. This substrate is recognized as a carcinogen and suspected to be gastrointestinal or liver toxicant, immunotoxicant, neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, respiratory toxicant, skin or sense organ toxicant.

Project description:Correlations between the chemical structures of agricultural fungicides and mRNA expression levels following exposure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to toxic doses of thiuram, zineb, maneb, TPN, and PCP were examined. Structurally, thiuram, zineb, and maneb are dithiocarbamate fungicides, whereas TPN and PCP are not. To characterize chemical toxicity, genes expression was classified according to the functional groups used by the MIPS database. However, no correlations between the classification scheme and chemical structures were found. Hierarchical clustering of gene expression profiles was performed to characterize the effects of the five chemicals. According to this analysis the similarity of gene expression profiles depended on the similarity of chemical structures. These results suggest that DNA microarray technology has potential for predicting the major chemicals which will cause environmental toxicity and will provide information on new biomonitoring methods.

In the case of paraquat (CAS; 1910-42-5), IC 50 was decided as 1250 ppm by growth curve with continuously diluted exposure, however, we had chosen 35 ppm for this experimental series because the reaction with low dose should be explored. Paraquat is used as a quaternary ammonium herbicide, and suspected to be a carcinogen, cardiovascular or blood toxicant, gastrointestinal or liver toxicant, kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, respiratory toxicant, skin or sense organ toxicant.
